1,716 nautical miles from Nashville Intl to King County Intl - Boeing Field. 4 of our seven cabin classes make it without a fuel stop. The other 3 cabins can fly it with one, and dispatch will say so up front.
What flies it
Block time is gate to gate. Each row is cruise plus 21 minutes for taxi, climb and approach. At 1,716 nautical miles range comes before cabin preference. The quickest cabin that holds it without stopping is a heavy jet at 3h 50m. A light jet can still fly it with one fuel stop, and a stop is roughly forty minutes on the ground on top of the 4h 15m in the table. Nonstop is judged against 85 percent of the low end of each category range band rather than a brochure maximum.

| Super Light Jet | 7 to 9 | 4h 05m | Nonstop |
| Light Jet | 6 to 8 | 4h 15m | One fuel stop |
| Twin Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 5h 50m | One fuel stop |
| Single Turboprop | 6 to 9 | 6h 00m | One fuel stop |
The cabins that stop here are Light Jet, Twin Turboprop and Single Turboprop. The times above are air time, so add roughly forty minutes on the ground for the fuel stop. Moving up one cabin class removes it, and we will lay out both.
